Don’t expect Julia Roberts to join Twitter anytime soon. The 46-year-old actress revealed that while she doesn’t have anything against the social networking site, “I kind of just don’t get it.”

“It’s like screaming into the wind,” she told reporters during a press interview for her new film August: Osage County. “I guess I just don’t get it. If somebody had a grievance with me, or if it’s a friend or somebody has been misinformed or misunderstood, I would go to them directly.”

“There’s just a lack of human connection to all of it and that doesn’t appeal to me,” she added.

And even if she wanted to start tweeting, she confessed she wouldn’t be sure where to start.

“I picture Twitter on a pager, which I know is antiquated,” she said. “I don’t know where you Twitter!”

The handle @JuliaRoberts exists on Twitter and has over 500,000 followers, but no tweets. Either it’s a fan-created page, or else Roberts’s team reserved the handle so no one else could claim it, à la Angelina Jolie.

Though she’ll probably never join Twitter, Roberts did acknowledge the many benefits of social media.

“It makes people feel connected and it brings people together and does all these awesome things,” she said, “but for me, I like to look at somebody and have more tangible connections. That’s what I as a person am invested in.”
